Just so you know, I don't believe we can trust what Travis Liles put together. When you look at his page (using the link you gave) he has us playing UNH on the Nov. 22nd, but when you look at UNH's schedule it says they are playing us on Nov. 8th. What is funny, is that our schedules are right next to each other, so I do not know how he missed that.

Coach Brown has stated that he is not interested in playing a 2'nd I-A opponent and that he is not interested in a 12 game schedule due to the number of playoff games we expect to play. I don't know if he has changed his position, nor do I know how much additional revenue we could expect to earn by playing an additional game.

This will help I-AA and the teams who don't participate in the playoff games. It will provide the players with more exposure and help recruiting. I don't think it will help us.

Just to clarify my schedules page. There is a color coding at the top of each page. Light blue signifies confirmed games and unknown dates. The orange are confirmed opponents and dates while the yellow represents likely dates. Its too early to attempt to figure out where the games fall into place until a few more schedules from the CAA are officially announced.
